What changes for your raids
Halloween 2026 Part I runs from Tuesday, October 27, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Two costumed Pokémon appear in one-star raids: Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet, and Sinistea wearing a bow. Both can be shiny.
New costumes
Pikachu wearing a hat and capelet, Zubat wearing a top hat, and Sinistea wearing a bow make their debut, all with a shiny chance. In the wild, you can also find Duskull, plus Piplup and Drifblim wearing a Halloween Mischief costume. These can be shiny too.
Surprises and research
Tap the surprises that Pokémon leave in the wild. They can give encounters with event Pokémon, Pikachu, Zubat, or Sinistea Candy, and sometimes Rare Candy. Event Field Research tasks also reward encounters with event Pokémon.
